Section 13: The Second World War and the Americas (1933–1945)

Discuss the social impact of the Second World War on one country in the Americas.

Markscheme

The question requires that candidates offer a considered and balanced review of the social impact of the Second World War on one country in the Americas. The social impact may extend beyond the Second World War, but it must be clearly linked to the issue raised in the question. The social impact of the Second World War on one country will certainly vary depending on which country is chosen. Some common themes that could be mentioned include impact on women, families, minority groups, society as a whole, personal liberties, the arts and media, culture and government. While other relevant factors, such as political or economic factors, may be referred to, the bulk of the response will remain on the issue raised in the questions.
